Classical Sorrow: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho
"If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise."
- Robert Fritz
I thought it would be hard to make this choice. Everyone's so afraid of death. It came easily though, maybe that's what scares me. I've written my note hoping that they'll understand. There was no way out anymore. I couldn't leave them while I was still alive. I wanted peace, I felt so trapped but now I can be free. I'm not afraid of death, not after all that I've been through. My only regret is that I've given up. I've never done that before. I've given up on my life instead of telling anyone. It's my fault really. I'll miss them all. Yusuke and his loyalty, Kurama and his helpfulness, even Hiei and his temper. Botan's cheerfulness, Koenma's cowardice. And my old buddies... to think that their boss would do something like this. I hope that I didn't hurt them too much. I know they didn't mean to hurt me... but I don't think they could have ever stopped. I let it happen, I never stopped them. I hope Shizuru is okay... she's probably upset but she'll be okay, she's strong. Blood slowly flows out of my wrists. My life flowing out of my body. I wonder how blood keeps you alive... maybe I would know if I had paid more attention in school. I guess I'll never know. I'll never know a lot of things. And what about Yukina? This will hurt her a lot... what am I doing? I'm just hurting the ones I care about and they'll blame themselves... but... it's too late now... tears slid down my face. I'm going to die and I can't say goodbye and I'm sorry. I looked down at my wrists. Too late...
"Good-bye..."
"A sense of duty is useful in work, but offensive in personal relations. People wish to be liked, not be endured with patient resignation."

Classical Sorrow: The end.
This story doesn't tell you what really happened to the others. It doesn't have a miraculous ending where Kuwabara comes back to life. There's a simple reason for that. This is how it ends. You don't see what happens in the news to the family who lost their son or daughter. You only hear the pain. That's real life.
The reason why I wrote this story is to show feelings and how people in Kuwabara's situation might feel. People need to learn that even if a person laughs they may not be happy. Remember other peoples feelings, most people won't tell you if your words hurt them. Ask yourself, have you been fair? Have your friends been fair?
